I will be putting together some internal documentation on log file
monitoring--a "cheat-sheet" of sorts.  Once I complete it, I'll post
what I have here.

I think part of the confusion on my part was having a different idea
in my head of how it should work than what was actually written, and
thus was partly confusing myself.  But I understand what you mean, as
I've often run in to similar problems when trying to explain things to
others who know less about the given subject than I do.
